Zhu Ziwen walked towards Fan Ziming.
Just as Fan Ziming was about to explain, Zhu Ziwen punched him in the face, causing him to back away and fall to the ground.
"Brother Zhu..."
Several other classmates quickly came over and held him back. One of them hesitated for a moment, but still helped Fan Ziming up for the sake of his classmates.
Zhu Ziwen pushed away the people who were holding him, shook his hurt hand and said, "My cousin is right. I was blind and thought I was a friend."
"Brother Zhu, I just couldn't help myself..."
"Is Miss Ruohong okay? Do you want Qingshan sister anymore?" Zhu Ziwen sneered at Fan Ziming's wide eyes, "There are many people you can't help but fall in love with, and don't ever think of my cousin as one of them. I feel it's insulting to her to compare you to my cousin. If I hear it again, don't blame me for being rude."
Being able to hang out with Zhu Ziwen, Fan Ziming’s background was not bad, but it was still inferior to the Minister of Revenue who held real power. Fan Ziming was a little scared now. His father asked him to hang out with Zhu Ziwen in order to get closer to the Zhu family. If his father knew that he had messed up and offended people...
He didn't dare to think any further and hurriedly chased after Zhu Ziwen. The rest of the people looked at each other, their minds a little confused. They thought of their classmates who were still waiting for them to buy food at home with jars of wine. They looked at the alley behind them, wondering if they should buy some wine and take it home to get drunk, then forget everything that happened today when they woke up the next day.
Losing interest, Hua Zhi decided not to go anywhere and went straight home.
"Is Peony back?"
"Not yet." Yingchun wrapped the young lady's hands with a hot towel to warm them up.
It has been two days and Hua Zhi is a little worried. Old Yu has already made the ointment, but before that, Shaoyao's injury still needs to be treated. Because the emperor did not allow Old Yu to leave the palace, Shaoyao had to enter the palace, and no one knows how she is doing now.
I hope to remove as many scars as possible. People always look at the face first. Only in this way can Shaoyao's life become wonderful.
The rumors changed one after another, and now the rumor was about the eldest girl. The news that she had squeezed the man who expressed his feelings to her in the street and made him speechless spread throughout the capital, and even the deep palace knew about it.
Haoyue closed the file that he had read several times, and stood up and walked around with the help of the palace maid. There seemed to be no problem with Hua Zhi's existence. Just like in her previous life, she was engaged to the Shen family. Also, something happened to the Hua family after the wedding date was set. It was also from this time that Hua Zhi began to change. She stood out from the other female relatives, took off her disguise, and has been working hard for the Hua family ever since then.
Moreover, Hua Zhi actually took the initiative to break off the engagement with Shen Qi. It was clearly around this time in her previous life that the Shen family broke off the engagement with the Hua family.
What was most incredible to her was that the man from the Hua family was not dead and was saved by Hua Zhi. Haoyue couldn't help but think about it more. Would Hua Zhi be the same as her
If this is true, then we can’t let him stay!
She no longer had much of an advantage, and she didn't know when Hua Zhi came back. It seemed that in her previous life, she lived one day longer than herself, so the advantage was on her side. Thinking about it this way, her biggest threat was actually Hua Zhi!
"Go tell him that Hua Zhi cannot be kept, and we need to act quickly."
"yes."
Picking up the file again and looking at the last few lines, Haoyue frowned slightly. She was so ruthless to a person who admired her. Although she was reborn, she couldn't say such words. This Hua Zhi was really not at all like the one in her previous life. Or, was she thinking wrongly
If it was not what she thought, then what was going on with this Hua Zhi who was completely different before and after
"Your Highness." The female official came in with a basket, "Your Highness the Queen Mother... You don't want to see me. Aunt Yuxiang said that I won't be allowed to enter the Fushou Palace anymore. Don't go there again."
Haoyue's face twisted for a moment, what an old hag!
"You should go there every day from now on. It doesn't matter if you carry an empty basket. As long as the emperor knows, that's enough."
"yes."
As soon as the first month of the year came, good news came one after another. The Lu and Sun families pretended to make some efforts on land transportation and then let go. They took control of water transportation as they wished. Like the salt tax, the emperor listed water and land transportation as a separate department and called it the Transportation Department.
The Cai family found two good families, one of which was the Yuan family that Madam Zhu had been looking for. Hua Zhi was still selfish after all, so she left the Yuan family, which she thought was good for both families, to her second sister, and gave the other three families to side branches after finding out more about them. As for what happened later, she didn't care about it. There were several cousins around who would be more experienced in this regard than her.
Hua Zhi went to the Yuan family with her grandmother. Coincidentally, the head of the family was half a student of her grandfather and had participated in the Hua family's literary gatherings. He had no objection to the marriage. The hostess didn't look like a picky person, so it wouldn't be difficult for the second sister to marry into the family.
Now that her second sister's marriage had been arranged, Hua Zhi made an appointment to meet with Madam Yu.
"The spring examination is in April. I wonder what Madam Xia thinks about the time?"
"I hope it will be as soon as possible. If I am lucky enough to pass the exam, it will be fine for me to stay in Beijing and get married at any time. But it will be inconvenient if I am sent abroad." Madam Yu sighed, "I am very confident in my son's knowledge, but with his personality, he will definitely suffer unless he stays in the Hanlin Academy. But my father-in-law hopes that Xia Sheng can be sent out as an official to hone his skills in the local area, which is easier said than done."
"If the Hanlin Academy was still run by the Hua family, then I would just be a Hanlin. But now it is not the case. It is not appropriate to enter now. Old Yu has been an official for many years, so his vision will not be bad."
"That's reasonable, but as a mother, how can I bear to see my son suffer so much away from home?" Shaking her head, Madam Yu talked about the current situation, "I wonder if the Yuan family has set a date for the wedding?"
Hua Zhi smiled, "What a coincidence, Yuan Jiazi and Mr. Yu are both candidates for the imperial examination at the same time. He will also take part in the spring examination in April. In this way, the problems faced by your two families are almost the same. I told them about my third sister, and they suggested that both sisters get married at the same time. Although it was well-intentioned, I had to refuse. This is something that only happens once in a lifetime, so it is better for each of us to do our own thing."
Madam Yu likes Hua Zhi's protective attitude. Given the current situation in the Hua family, it is not shameful for two sisters to get married at the same time. However, Hua Zhi is still unwilling to let them share their good life. She is a generous head of the family.
"In this case, we'll have to push the wedding date forward. Does the Yuan family have any objections?"
"I have already talked it over with them, they have no objection. According to convention, there is nearly two months between the announcement of the list and the dispatch of officials. If we hurry, we should be able to make this wedding a success." Hua Zhi was very happy that both families were reasonable people, which showed that they were not difficult to deal with, which was a great thing for a daughter-in-law.
PS: The third update. I have been revising it for a long time but still feel that the plot is not right. I will take a look at it tomorrow. I feel dizzy.
